Does it matter though if you are black? Not really, you are an individual and you can do the best you can. I will never have a great physique nor an extraordinarily bright mind but I do what I can with what the gods have given me.
Do the best you can with what you have. If you do that, you will be better than 90% of all people of all races.
why are you trying to leave??...and what business do you have?
Debt Collection. I am sick of it here. I have lived here my whole life and want to get out of the craziness. Its cramped, tight, expensive, taxes are insane, etc.
the above posts from 333386 and Deicide are good points.....the problem is that some of the racists on here don't care whether a black person does his best.....they are still thrown into the same racial box
The problem is that you don't collect the debt with the right tools, I'll buy you a new baseball bat for your birthday
Racism is a complete waste of time, on all fronts. Regardless of race, you have to do basic things that has nothing to do with race. Work, be responsible, etc.
There are obvious genetic differences between whites and blacks, intelligence wise and otherwise. That said, life is too short to worry about this shit like MattC does.
Life is "too short" to worry about the thousands dead, millions raped, and millions in prison due to the failure of multiculturalism and the racial conflict and strife that it brings about?
Focusing on why you think one group is better than the other is useless. The answer is through what is otherwise known as common sense, responsible behavior, education, and focusing on productive endeavors.
It has no bearing on your life because you are white..but minorities have to live with the negative consequences of being stereotyped everyday....However, this is an excellent post....very good reference..thanks for posting it..it was a very interesting read....I want to refute some of this stuff but I guess the article speaks for itself....people will look at it and pull from it what they want to believe....
I've hired blacks before and given them PLENTY of opportunities and never gotten much in the way of results. For me to continue to do so would be financial suicide.
I'm sure you've gotten bad results from whites also...why just single out blacks?
I love how the Malcolm Gladwell article shuts Matt C up with his BS racism hahaha.
Unfortunately, Americans can’t afford ignorance, lies, and wishful thinking anymore.
All groups have done this. Every last one of them. Europeans have merely done it better. It's survival of the fittest and I have no reason to apologize for the fact that my ancestors were better at surviving than your ancestors were - something that every racial group attempted to do - in fact something that every organism starting at the cellular level attempts to do - survive.It's not that whites were more vicious than others. As I already said, Arabs traded more African slaves than Europeans did and did so much more brutally. African leaders were the beneficiaries of the slave trade also and were also brutal to their own who they traded as slaves. Don't be mad at Europeans because we managed to succeed where other groups did not.
I've been making a concerted effort to move past this racist bullshit because looking at it from a spectator's viewpoint makes the ones pushing it look pretty petty and insecure. However, this is fact but one only needs to look at the current situation in Zimbabwe to see what blacks have done when put in power. 20 years ago Zimbabwe was one of the crown jewels of Africa. Was a great country. Since that moron Mugabe started confiscating white farmland and given it to blacks, that country has fallen into ruin. They're all starving because they can't cultivate the land, their infrastructure fell apart, massive hyperinflation and a host of other problems. Nevermind the fact that Mugabe threw himself a $2 million birthday party to celebrate his destruction of that country.
Collectivists such as yourself are responsible for so much of the conflict of the world; racial, ethnic, religious, looking at people as groups instead of as individuals is a major source of suffering in the world. Take people on a individual basis and you will be better off for it. Grow up Matt and get the fuck out of Manitoba or whereever it is you come from.
there are lots of unqualified whites in jobs simply because they are white....you are proof of racism in that you assume all whites in jobs are qualified
So I should look at my mentally disabled friend Andrzej on an "individual basis" too, or should I assume that as a result of his mental disability he cannot be expected to function in organized society the way others can and accommodate accordingly?Would it be beneficial to anyone to persist in a lie that he is equal to a person of average intelligence when he obviously is not?
Have to beg to differ at this point, & say "multiculturalism has not exactly proved a sterling job though, I mean, com on"
